/**
 * Represents a parsed <l>Content-Location</l> HTTP response header.
 * 
 * <p>
 * An alternate location for the returned data.
 * 
 * <h5 class='figure'>Example</h5>
 * <p class='bcode'>
 * 	Content-Location: /index.htm
 * </p>
 * 
 * <h5 class='topic'>RFC2616 Specification</h5>
 * 
 * The Content-Location entity-header field MAY be used to supply the resource location for the entity enclosed in the
 * message when that entity is accessible from a location separate from the requested resource's URI.
 * A server SHOULD provide a Content-Location for the variant corresponding to the response entity; especially in the
 * case where a resource has multiple entities associated with it, and those entities actually have separate locations
 * by which they might be individually accessed, the server SHOULD provide a Content-Location for the particular variant
 * which is returned.
 * <p class='bcode'>
 * 	Content-Location = "Content-Location" ":"
 * 	                   ( absoluteURI | relativeURI )
 * </p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * The value of Content-Location also defines the base URI for the entity.
 * 
 * <p>
 * The Content-Location value is not a replacement for the original requested URI; it is only a statement of the
 * location of the resource corresponding to this particular entity at the time of the request.
 * Future requests MAY specify the Content-Location URI as the request- URI if the desire is to identify the source of
 * that particular entity.
 * 
 * <p>
 * A cache cannot assume that an entity with a Content-Location different from the URI used to retrieve it can be used
 * to respond to later requests on that Content-Location URI.
 * However, the Content- Location can be used to differentiate between multiple entities retrieved from a single
 * requested resource, as described in section 13.6.
 * 
 * <p>
 * If the Content-Location is a relative URI, the relative URI is interpreted relative to the Request-URI.
 * 
 * <p>
 * The meaning of the Content-Location header in PUT or POST requests is undefined; servers are free to ignore it in
 * those cases.
